"Digitech has shocked me!&quot submitted August 19, 2008

Overall:
Okay so I was in the market for a good Metal pedal because the distortion on my half stack just didn't cut it. I went to a local music store and tried tons including this one. I must say I was surprised with how well this one sounded. The Morph feature is really nice, there's one for every style of metal except Black Metal. (which it fine because I don't play much of that anyway) There's a perfect amount of low end and Just enough high end, there's no mid knob but I usually scoop the mids anyway. It's great for lead, It's great for rhythm, and it's great for metal. Buy or at least try this pedal, you won't be disappointed.

Sound:
the soun of the metal master is really good. you can go from metal to death metal with a turn of a knob.
Feature:
the pedal came with a battery and a manual but i think it should of came with a power chord so you dont have to keep buying batteries.
Ease of Use:
its very easy to use you just turn a knob and stomp the pedal and you are good.
Quality:
the quality is very good its made very well i have had it for over a year and it hasnt failed me yet.
Value:
its a good price for it but i wouldnt of paid much more for it.
Manufacturer Support:
never had to deal with them.
The Wow Factor:
it looks alright its just a pedal.
Overall:
overall its a good pedal it sounds good and works good its VERY NICE.

Sound:
Why do I need to go on about the sound? It's pretty self-explanatory, made for METAL nothing else. It does have a wide range of sounds, from the classic metal tone ala Maiden to the warmest mid-range sounds to the darkest of the darkest distortion spewed forth from Hades itself.
Feature:
Pretty much fool-proof, level for volume, and an added extra goody, you can control how much bass and treble you want. This also has a WIDE range of metal distortion, that's why I bought it.
Ease of Use:
Just stomp on it and ultra metal tone is yours
Quality:
Built like a tank, virtually indestructable. Mine has taking big drops that would make Danny Way weep and works like the day I bought it. Extremely low-maintenance
Value:
Well worth every penny. Perfect for all metalheads needs
Manufacturer Support:
Never needed it, but if I do, I have the number.
Overall:
This thing will probably go to my grave with me. It's built that well.

"The digitech metal master - small sexy and right for everyone&quot submitted December 26, 2003

Sound:
the digithech metal master allows me to use as much or as little distortion as i want and at every possible level of distortion i can use on this pedal im blown away at the crispness of the sound. i've heard some pedals before that with a high level of distortion every note sounds the same but not with the digitech metal master. it almost makes my playing sound smoother
Feature:
the digitech metal master dosent come with any accesories but it dosent really need any. The only thing that would be nice if it came with it was an adapter. but the adapter isn't alot of cash to get so its not a very big deal. I love the morph option that this pedal gives me so i can have as much or as little distortion as i wish.
Quality:
in the time i've had the pedal i havent had any problems with it at all and i have used it a LOT, and it looks great to boot. its a really reliable pedal and its made of tough stuff, all metal and rubber on the bottom and on the pedal that you step on. the metal master seems amazingly durable and i think that with proper care this thing will be around forever.
Value:
i think the metal master is worth every penny
Manufacturer Support:
i havent had any problems so i have not had to deal with the people of digitech at all. i tried to visit their site this morning but it was down, but these things happen so.
The Wow Factor:
this is a very sexy little pedal its small and sleek with a sound that wont quit
Overall:
this pedal looks, sounds, and has great preformance. not to mention its durability. I love everything about this pedal and i cant say a single thing bad about it.

Manufacturer Support:

"Just F***ING BUY THE THING!!!&quot submitted June 1, 2009

Sound:
Awsome for 80s Heavy Metal like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and even Thrash from the 90s and now. The sound is incredible! Metal or not you will love this thing.
Feature:
I absolutely love the X-series morph knob, it makes the pedal 7 pedals in one. That's fricken sweet!!
Ease of Use:
Pretty easy.
Quality:
Just like everything I've reviewed on zZounds.com, built like a fricken tank!
Value:
It was priced at a tenth of what it is actually worth:about 50$ if I remember correctly.
The Wow Factor:
I love the color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Overall:
Overall it is just like all products you'll find on zZounds.com, the best damn pedals ever made!!!!!!

"Good for personal use but terrible for gigging.&quot submitted June 16, 2007

Sound:
The sound is good if you are playing by yourself. However, live iit doesn't cut through the mix at all. its too raspy and too trebly to even think about cutting through the mix. It definitely sounds terrible if you're playing along with another guitar player. If you do be ready to go unheard. However it is my favorite compact distortion pedal. I use it for when I alone.
Feature:
The morph knob is cool. But it could use a gain and a mid knob. There's just simply not enough control.
Ease of Use:
You just stomp it haha. I don't understand how it oculd be difficult.
Quality:
I've dropped it. It still works. The batery terminal quits after a while so make sure you have an adapter ready.
Value:
Its cheaper then any of the Boss metal pedals but still sounds better.
Manufacturer Support:
never dealed with them
The Wow Factor:
Its ok but nothing will beat good ol' tube distortion.
Overall:
I hope this pedal will last a while. It is fun.

Sound:
the sound is sick, i owned a digitech RP-50 multi FX pedal which is also good but didnt have the metal distortion sounds i was hoping, but this tank has the most awesome sound, it can be suited to every metal band if played with.
Feature:
man the morph knob is the most insane thing ive ever seen on a pedal. one second im playing black sabbath, a second later im playing slipknot and korn, fully sick feature.
Quality:
hard as nails, this thing is made outta the tuff stuff. parts are all high quality and is suited fo on statge use as well. very strong case.
Value:
i payed 180 aus dollars for this pedal, insane value. match that to a boss pedal.
Manufacturer Support:
i havnt dealt with support but with a hammer like this why would u need to?!
The Wow Factor:
i cant stop looking at it! the damn things tight! very original, but at the same time, easy as to use.
Overall:
the best metal pedal in its price range, but personally, my fav. BUY IT NOW!

"The best.&quot submitted May 9, 2006

Sound:
Don't use junky cables or you won't get the best sound.
Feature:
It's just great.
Ease of Use:
It's simple the knob are labled with one word not like the metal zone pedal where it's confusing.
Quality:
The distortion is perfect.
Value:
The pedal is definitly worth every penny.
Manufacturer Support:
The comany is great.
The Wow Factor:
This pedal is very ballzy and it's looks attract people.
Overall:
I will use this pedal for as long as it last.

Sound:
I went into a guitar store with the intention of buying a boss metal zone. They were sold out so I tried this pedal out. In the store It sounded awesome, but that was only half of what I got out of it once I got it home. You can get every sound from light to heavy distortion, and from deep low end to high pitched screaming distortion and everything in between.
Feature:
It could have used a "Mid" nob and a nob to control the actual amount of distortion, but it does have the "Morph" nob which is totally sick. As you start out with morph on zero and turn it clockwise you can hear the sound intensify
Quality:
This thing is built like a vault. It's made of all metal and built to last.
Value:
Pretty expensive, but cheap compared to other pedals whcich don't offer the same sound quality.
Manufacturer Support:
Just got it but based on the quality will never have to deal with the company. Good brand name
The Wow Factor:
The Metal Master looks and sounds great. Who wouldn't want one.
Overall:
This thing is amazing. If your looking for a distortion pedal check this one out you won't be disappointed.

Sound:
THis thing sounds awesome, and if you wanna hear what it actually sounds like then go to guitar center.com and kook it up, you wont be disapointed
Feature:
Doesnt have a mid knob but who needs it. THe X morph is fricken awesome though. You can do any type of metal you want and can make this thing sound like the boss mt2 if you put the settings just right.
Ease of Use:
Its as simple as any pedal ive used
Quality:
this thing is pretty heavy and looks like it could survive a mosh pit
Value:
I actually got mine for 30 bucks at a pawn shop but i would buy this thing for 90 bucks if i had to
Manufacturer Support:
Uhhhhhhhh I never need it, but Im sure zzounds has good custumer support
The Wow Factor:
At first I walked into the music store looking to get a boss MT2 metal zone but as i was about to pay for it this pedal caught my eye and I needed to have it
Overall:
If you like any type of metal then you would be a complete moron not to get this pedal

"Nice pedal&quot submitted October 30, 2007

Sound:
this pedal sounds pretty good. i heard it on a cover video on youtube and i heard someone trying it out at the music store i go to.
Feature:
wish it had a gain knob so then the gain would be more precise.
Ease of Use:
its pretty easy to use just a little confusing at first to set it up.
Quality:
made pretty well. i thought it was bigger before i saw it though.
Value:
its worth 80 dollars. this pedal is better than more of the higher end pedals.
Manufacturer Support:
never had to deal with support =)
The Wow Factor:
since this pedal sounds good by itself i would desire it.
Overall:
well in about a year or 2 once i get one ill probably keep it around till i hear something better.

"it works in the long run&quot submitted November 25, 2005

Sound:
it has some perfect settings and some that are okay. over all it's really good.
Feature:
it could have used a couple more features
Quality:
it looks cool, has cool settings, but the mechanicaly its not so good
Value:
it is what it is. for what i use it as it was more than what i would have paid for. but to others it might be different
Manufacturer Support:
after having it for 2 years it will not work without the adapter which is okay but it shouldn't be mandatory.
The Wow Factor:
it sounds good when you play on it the first few times then tou find out when you get it it isn't all that you thought it was
Overall:
it took awile to break it in but after i found the flaws it pull threw
